Howard Courant,   December 8, 1927
OBITUARY


George Gillick Gorman was born in Smith Grove, Warren county, Kentucky, 
December 19, 1870.  He died at his home in Howard, Kansas, December 3, 1927.

He came with his parents to Kansas in the fall of 1873, settling near 
Piedmont, where he lived and grew to manhood, living in this community until 
he moved to Howard a few years ago.

He was united in marriage to Miss Abbey Munsinger, October 19, 1898, and to 
this union were born two children, Francis Eleanor and George Glenn, Francis 
Eleanor dying in infancy.

He leaves his wife and small son of six, aged mother of Severy, Kansas, four 
sisters, Miss Eliza of Severy, Kansas, Mrs. J. S. Martin of Muscotah, Kansas, 
Mrs. R. J. Jones of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. E. W. Haas of Garden City, Kansas 
and one brother, J. H. Gorman of Coldwater, Kansas, several nieces and 
nephews, besides a host of friends to mourn his loss, his father and two 
brothers preceded him.

Mr. Gorman united with the Howard Christian church in the year 1919, in which 
he remained a faithful member until his death.

He had been a great sufferer for the past two years, yet was a remarkeable, 
courageous and hopeful sufferer, always having a smile for everyone.  His 
Christian life has been one of unselfish devotion to this Master.  His place 
at church was filled, even when he was suffering from his affliction, the 
thought not of self.  His home was a happy one.  His devotion to his companion 
was unexcelled. He will be missed on every side.

There were many willing hands and loving hearts to minister unto his wants 
during his sickness and his faithful wife, relatives, pastor and friends did 
all that earthly power could do to stay the relentless hand of death, but all 
in vain.

Funeral services were held at the Howard Christian church, Sunday afternoon, 
conducted by Brother Kerr of Moline, Kansas.  Burial in the Piedmont cemetery.
